Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method to improve the dielectric properties of olefinic polymers by using specific catalysts and non-supported catalysts. The non-supported catalysts have larger bulky ligands that reduce their mobility and dielectric loss. The resulting polymers have better electrical insulating properties and can be used in electrical cables. The patent also describes the use of a specific NCA (non-conductive agent) that has at least 33 atoms Z that are different from hydrogen and fluorine atoms. The NCA can have at least one unit of general formula (II) or (III) described above. Overall, the patent provides a way to make electrically insulating materials with improved dielectric properties.

Problems solved by technology

Presumably, the bulky nature of these activators reduce their mobility and thereby reduce dielectric loss.

example 1

[0136] Synthesis of 4-(C6F5NH)—C6F4Br. To a suspension of sodium hydroxide (11 grams) in methyl sulfoxide (300 milliliters, DMSO) was added C6F5NH2 (50 grams in 100 milliliters of DMSO). The mixture darkened immediately upon the addition of the amine. To this solution was added C6F5Br (67 grams in 100 milliliters of DMSO). The mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was added to 300 milliliters of diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl). To the quenched mixture was added 300 milliliters of diethyl ether (Et2O). The two layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted a second time with 300 milliliters of diethyl ether. The purple ether layers are combined and dried with magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). After an appropriate drying period the MgSO4 was removed by filtration. The solvent was removed and the product was sublimed (oil bath temperature was 80-90° C., pressure was approximately 10−4 millitorr). The white solid collected on the cold finger was crystallized from hexan...

[0137] Synthesis of 4-(C6F5N{TMS})-C6F4Br. To a potassium hydride (0.610 grams) suspension in tetrahydrofuran (50 milliliters, THF) was added a solution of 4-(C6F5NH)—C6F4Br (6.245 grams in 50 milliliters of THF). After the gas generation stopped, TMS-Cl (1.65 grams) was added. The solution was allowed to stir for 16 hours. The solid precipitate was separated by filtration and the THF was replaced with hexanes. The colorless liquid product was isolated from the yellow mixture by column chromatography (200 mesh silica gel, hexanes). This procedure yields 4.0 grams of product. The product was characterized by 19F NMR. 19F NMR (CDCl3, 25° C., referenced from CFCl3 (0.0)): δ−134.2 (m, 2F), −143.8 (m, 2F), −144.4 (m, 2F), −157.8 (t, 1F), −163.0 (m, 2F).

[0138] Synthesis of [4-(C6F5N{TMS})-C6F4]4B Li(Et2O)2.5: To a cold Et2O solution of 4-(C6F5N{TMS})-C6F4Br (1.493 grams) was added n-butyllithium (2.0 milliliters, 2.1 M in hexanes, Aldrich). The lithiation mixture was allowed to stir over 2 hours at which point boron trichloride (0.77 milliliters, 1.0 M in hexanes, Aldrich) was added to the mixture. The cold bath was removed and the reaction was stirred for 3 hours. The white precipitate was separated by filtration. The volume of the filtrate was reduced to approximately 30% and pentane was added to induce precipitation. The two-layered mixture was chilled to −35° C. The product precipitates as a white solid (1.135 grams). The product was characterized by 19F and 1H NMR. 1H NMR (Toluened8, 25° C.): δ 3.25 (q, 10H), 1.09 (t, 15H), 0.11 (s, 36H). 19F NMR (Toluened8, 25° C.): δ−133.2 (m, 2F), −145.5 (m, 2F), −150.3 (m, 2F), −160.0 (t, 1F), −164.7 (m, 2F).

Abstract

Polymers made by transition metal catalyst systems comprising a bulky noncoordinating anion (NCA) as cocatalyst component. In comparison to polymers containing a conventional NCA, these polymers show a considerably lower dielectric loss, making them suitable for insulation applications such as for power cable.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] This invention relates to polyolefins made in the presence of a transition metal catalyst precursor activated by a noncoordinating anion (hereafter sometimes abbreviated as “NCA”) for providing reduced dielectric loss. In particular, to articles of manufacture comprising an electrically conductive substrate and a polymeric insulation, the latter including the low dielectric loss polyolefin. The invention also relates to processes for making these polyolefins and to articles of manufacture. DISCUSSION OF BACKGROUND [0002] The term “noncoordinating anion” is now accepted terminology in the field of olefin and vinyl monomer polymerization to indicate an anion that stabilizes (stabilizing anion) a transition metal cation. This cation is generally accepted to be the active site in Ziegler-Natta catalysts. For example, the polymerization may be a coordination, insertion or carbocationic polymerization. See, e.g., EP 0 277 003, EP 0 277 004, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,198,401 ...
